The Shivah

Honestly, if you’re visiting TIGSource expecting quality games featuring the best in 3D graphics or a new Kenta Cho release week in week out then you’re in for a bit of a disappointment. (solely because Mr. ABA released fifty-one shmups last year)

We can only guarantee you the best in indie games, and hopefully that’s good enough to keep you coming back. So let’s begin our discussion about The Shivah, a new AGS adventure game from Dave Gilbert. The story is about a rabbi who had received a large sum of money from a former member of his congregation, and being extremely suspicious the man decides to investigate the origins of his good fortune.

A few things are done differently in this murder mystery, for example there are no puzzles requiring the use of your inventory and practically no items to collect. Progression is usually achieved by extracting clues from conversations with other characters.

Won the June 2006 MAGS contest, so that must count for something. Congratulations, Dave. (make more soon!)

It started off promising, but landed in clichéd silliness once you find out who is responsible for all this and they try to stop you in your tracks.

Shalom, bitches.

Somewhat weird adventure game, but a neat find. Nice as always, Tim.
